Masterful screenplay. ... Each episode offers opportunities to deepen our understanding of this fantastical world and to relish the visual depth of Gutiérrez’s adeptly constructed and absolutely stunning series. Read full review

The visuals are enough to keep viewers off their phones for all nine episodes, but the plot is compelling too, even for grown-ups. ... “Maya and the Three” is a testament to Latino, and specifically Mexican aesthetics, values, and culture. It pushes what a kids show can be, challenging others to rise to its visual and storytelling standard. Read full review

In its most basic iteration, “Maya and the Three” could have been a cute enough story of a plucky girl who saves the world. What a treat, then, to watch as the show digs deeper, reaches farther, and takes bigger leaps to explore more complicated terrain. It’s an epic, in all senses of the word, with a palpable love for its world that proves hard to resist. Read full review

To say it can be a little corny and sentimental, though usually with a joke to pull things back from the brink of mawkishness, is only to say it has heart; in any case, it worked on me visually and emotionally, as thoroughly on a second viewing as on the first. ... The series is also full of death and darkness, and no less moving for being set in a world where death is not the end. Quite the opposite: the story bends toward transcendence — and gets there.

Start watching Maya and the Three for the action-packed and visually creative fights, but stay for the poignant character arcs that build up to a satisfying ending. Read full review

Maya And The Three works on two levels: Battle scenes and colorful animation for the kids, goofy jokes and a good story for the adults. Read full review

So often, shows aimed at a younger audience use that as an excuse for a bad script, predictable plot, and jokes so basic, your dog might find them pedestrian, let alone your kids.
Maya and the Three might be aimed towards a younger audience but there's absolutely nothing lazy about it. TheSo often, shows aimed at a younger audience use that as an excuse for a bad script, predictable plot, and jokes so basic, your dog might find them pedestrian, let alone your kids.
Maya and the Three might be aimed towards a younger audience but there's absolutely nothing lazy about it. The humour is constantly sharp, giving parents and kids both a chance to laugh. The premise is fresh, never slipping into the formula-driven dirge of so many shows that seek to eat up the children's market, and it's also astonishingly beautiful.
The rich, vibrant, complex world, uses both colour, character and more texture than I have perhaps ever seen in any animated show, to reflect both culture, geology, history and mythology, that's driven through both the huge range of characters and the wildly different, yet cohesive environments.
All this makes for a show that should not just be enjoyed by adults and children but it's also an important show for artists to watch, as it's one of the strongest visual accomplishments of the modern age, and as such has a wealth of things to teach any student of the visual arts.… Expand

Incredible tv show. So many things to just gush over. The animation is excellent, the style is fantastic with certain characters and objects overlapping the aspect ratio bars, the story is intriguing and well-executed. This is just perfect. Please watch this immediately.

What a great adventure for the little ones, the art is magnificent and the story is full of valuable life lessons and loveable characters. Kudos to Jorge R Gutierrez and his team for a wonderful adventure and representing latino prehispanic culture in a meaningful way.
